Chapter 582: A Role Model for Women

Inside the house, the kang was already lit, so the temperature inside was not cold. On the kang, Hualei also placed a tatami chair similar to the one in her previous life, with a backrest but no legs.

Hualei drew a picture and asked the woodworker to make it. Because it was good to use, she gave two to Zhenzhu. Hualei also put a few more cushions on the kang.

Madam Chen took off her outer cloak, and the few people greeted each other again. Hua Lei let Madam Chen sit on the kang. Looking at the chair on the kang, Madam Chen couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, and slowly sat down.

Qingqi and Qinghua brought tea and snacks.

"Lord Hua, it was really thanks to your reminder last time at the post station that I was able to save the child. Originally, I should have come here to thank you Lord Hua a long time ago. However, due to my poor health, I have delayed it until today. I hope Lord Hua will not blame Yinqiu for being rude." As soon as Mrs. Chen sat down, she stated the purpose of her trip.

"Mrs. Chen, you are too polite. I just said a few words and I don't deserve your thanks. It is because of the fate between Madam Chen and the child that the child is safe and healthy." Hua Lei said politely.

"It was Master Hua's timely reminder that made me take it to heart and pay attention to it myself. When I was in Leyang Prefecture, the doctor even asked me to stay in the pharmacy for a few days. After taking medicine for a period of time, the child finally stabilized.

If Master Hua hadn't reminded us, the consequences would have been disastrous." Mrs. Chen, who had been married for several years but had never given birth, was still afraid when she thought about it, so her gratitude to Hua Lei was indeed sincere.

"Mrs. Chen is too polite." Hua Lei smiled, paused, and then said, "If you are not shy, you can just call me by my name. Calling me Master Hua makes me feel ashamed."

"Master Hua is too modest. I have heard of Master Hua's great name when I was in the capital. Many people speak highly of Master Hua.

It is said that Lord Hua is not only talented and beautiful, but also kind and honest. Lord Hua is a role model for us women!" Mrs. Chen praised sincerely.

"Where? Where?" Hua Lei laughed heartily. Although what Mrs. Chen said was a bit exaggerated, Hua Lei was still very happy to hear it.

"I see... I am a few years older than Lord Hua. If Lord Hua doesn't mind, I would be generous and call you Sister Hua. Of course, you don't have to call me Young Madam all the time. I would be happier if you called me Sister Chen." Young Madam Chen asked carefully.

"Of course, then I will call you Sister Chen from now on." Hua Lei said readily.

"Yes, sister Hua." Madam Chen Shao smiled, touched her belly tenderly and said, "From now on, this child will have an aunt.

When he grows up, I will tell him that he was able to come into this world because of Aunt Hua's reminder. "Hua Lei couldn't help but smile.

Mrs. Chen Shao moved slightly, leaned back in her chair, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.

"Sister Hua, where did you make this chair? Why haven't I seen a chair like this before? It fits perfectly on the kang and is very useful."

"Oh, this is the blueprint I drew and asked my sawmill to make it. If Sister Chen likes it, I'll ask the sawmill to make a few for you." Hua Lei placed the scented tea that Qingqi brought in front of Mrs. Chen Shao.

"Sister Hua, you are really too smart. When I was in the capital, I heard that Sister Hua's farms and shops were managed very well. The puddles that others were helpless with were turned into treasure pots by Sister Hua. It was absolutely true.

Then sister should shamelessly ask sister Hua for two. Put this on the kang, you won’t feel tired when sitting, and your body will be warm. It’s really good, and your husband can use it too. "Mrs. Chen Shao said a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, my husband also thinks this chair is good and often uses it on the kang." Pearl on the side agreed.

"Yes, there are other chairs in the house, but the weather is cold, so I usually stay on the kang more often. Recently, I feel a little tired just sitting directly, so I have to lean on something."

Madam Chen Shao said with a smile, paused, and then said, "Originally, I wanted to come here today to say thank you to my sister, but I didn't expect that I would take advantage of my sister Hua again."

"Sister Chen, you are so polite. I will have someone send it to you in a few days when the lumber workshop is ready." Hua Lei said with a smile, pushing a few snacks on the kang table.

"Today is the first time I'm entertaining Sister Chen, and I don't know what Sister Chen's taste is, so I asked the kitchen to make a few sweet and salty snacks. Sister Chen, do you want to try them?"

"Okay, I ate this egg yolk pastry every other day when I was in the capital, as did this taro cake and green tea cake. But what is this...?"

"This is chestnut cake. I made it with fresh chestnuts and goat's milk. It tastes pretty good. Sister Chen can try it. Zhenzhu, come here, which one do you like?" Hualei called to Zhenzhu on the side.

Pearl smiled and pinched a chestnut cake, saying, "I've tried the other ones, today I'm going to try the new flavor made by my sister-in-law."

Madam Chen Shao also took a piece of chestnut cake, took a careful bite, and nodded, "It's fragrant and sticky, sweet but not greasy, and tastes really good. If this is sold in Mingxiang Pavilion, it will probably be in short supply again.

Sister Hua, you don't know this yet, right? Actually, Mingxiang Pavilion is my mother's shop. My grandfather loved drinking tea, so he opened this tea shop.

As soon as Hua's new dim sum was delivered to Mingxiang Pavilion, the shopkeeper would send some to my grandfather for him to taste. We also often ate them.

In the past few years, my grandfather has gained a lot of weight, all thanks to Sister Hua. Of course, Mingxiang Pavilion's business has also increased by nearly 20% because of Sister Hua's snacks. "Mrs. Chen said with a chuckle.

"Oh, really? It turns out that Sister Chen and Old Man Chen are my benefactors. Hua Lei is so rude. Because Mingxiang Pavilion helps me sell these snacks, I also earn a lot of money." Hua Lei also smiled.

Indeed, she had been talking with the shopkeeper of Mingxiang Pavilion, and later handed the dim sum matter over to Uncle Fu. She didn't pay much attention to it, so she never knew who the owner of Mingxiang Pavilion was?

"Sister Hua, you said goat's milk was added to the chestnut cake? Why is there no fishy smell at all? The goat's milk in my house seems to have a much stronger fishy smell than yours.

Sometimes, I can’t eat much, but for the sake of my children, I sometimes pinch my nose and drink it as medicine.” Mrs. Chen took the remaining chestnut cakes and looked at them, and asked.

"I asked Sister Lotus to filter the goat milk several times before cooking it, and added some dried jasmine flowers when cooking. This is more effective in removing the fishy smell. Sister Chen can ask the kitchen to try it when she goes back."
